Favorable weather conditions
have enabled the Cabarrus Coun- '
tf terracing unit to operate al- (
most continuously since last '
March, reports Assistant Farm
Agent W. H. Williams.
After running behind the pre
ceding year every month since
late in 1937, sales of farm im
plements began to record improve
ment in July and August, and 1
have made sharp gains in the past
three months.
Preliminary figures show that
farmers cooperating in the 1939
Agricultural Conservation pro
jrram received 660,610 tons of
lime and 136,736 tons of con
centrated superphosphate as
grants of aid.
The U. J3. Department of Agri
culture has placed this year's cot- >
ton crop at 11,792,000 bales of
COO pounds gross weight each, a
slight drop under the 11,943,000
bales produced last year.
When a truck and trailer over
turned in Oklahoma the cargoes
of oranges and onions were mixed ,
together in one mass, which could
have been salvaged and served as '
a new salad if there had been any,
whipped cream available.
Ten corn demonstrations com
pleted ,lh Mitchell County show
that on 10 acres the grower* har
vested 894 /bushels, the highest
yield, 120.8| bushels, being made
by D. M. Gteene of Bakers ville.
Suppose Brazil, Argentine, or
Mexico attacked the United States
would either England or France
come over and 'help us? Let's use
a little horse sense In these days
of war ridden Europe, stay at
home and mind our own business.
Landlady (to Murphy) ? Pat,
I'm afraid I shall have to charge
you another $2 a week tor board.
You're such a big eater.
Pat ? For hfeaven's sake, don't
do that! I'm killing myself al
ready trying to eat what I'm pay

HAPPY
NEW
YEAR
" 'Today is the tomorrow we
worried about yesterday."
Suppose we can't have every
thing just as we would like.
Perhaps it's best that we can't.
And worry never helps mat
* t
ters ? it just spoils our disposi
tions and unfits us for life's
duties.
*
So here is our New Year's
resolution:
We will not cross bridges
before we come to them ?
*
we will work ? not worry
?we will "do unto others
i v ;
as we would have them do
unto us" and look to the
future with an abiding
faith.
